The Royal Irish Fusiliers Museum is a small military history museum in Armagh, housed in the historic Servants' House on the Mall, a building constructed around 1810 from local stone. Inside you'll find uniforms, medals, regalia and two Victoria Crosses won by the regiment, alongside archival documents, service records and photographs telling the story of regiments formed in Dublin in 1793. Staff can assist with family and military history research, and the museum welcomes schools and groups through talks and guided visits. It suits those with an interest in Irish military heritage and family research. As one of the Museums & Galleries in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, County Down, it makes a worthwhile stop if you're staying nearby, though note its limited Tuesday–Friday opening hours.
